  • Stop Ovethinking. Start Living.
    Feb 4 2026

    This final episode is about moving forward without turning everything into self-work. Life continues to ask for decisions, action, and response, even when you do not feel fully clear.

    We talk about acting without perfect understanding, deciding what really needs attention, and trusting that the work you have already done will show up when it matters.

    If you want to live your life without constantly managing your inner world, this episode offers a grounded place to land.

  • Tired of Working on Yourself? Let Me Tell You Why..
    Jan 28 2026

    This episode is about the exhaustion that can come from constant self-awareness. You may feel tired of checking your reactions, analysing conversations, and feeling as though you should always be improving.

    We explore why this tiredness does not mean failure, how self-work can quietly turn into pressure, and when it is healthy to ease off without giving up on yourself.

    If working on yourself has started to feel heavy rather than helpful, this episode gives that experience some breathing room.

  • How to Tell If You’re Still Making Progress
    Jan 21 2026

    This episode looks at the stage where progress becomes harder to notice. You may still feel challenged, but things do not spiral in the same way, and because it feels less dramatic, you start wondering whether anything has changed.

    We talk about how growth shows up later on, what to compare instead of your mood or motivation, and why “nothing happening” can actually be a sign that things are settling.

    If you have felt unsure about whether you are still moving forward, this episode helps you see what is already different.
